Yes, center is pos. Rolando

That is really nice to hear. Thanks, Rolando

We have one more obscure bug to fix, and Liam and I have to finish the keypad instructions. Rolando

Hi Rolando, That's an interesting technique. I usually use 5 min subs. I'll try it out the next time. cytan On

10 minute subs x 12 I like to expose until the central part of the galaxy is near saturation, but does not exceed it. That way the core is not blown out and no detail is lost there. Rolando

Simple question here -- on the CP3 box I assume the 12V power accepts a 2.1x5.5 center positive 12 volt cable - correct? I would like to just use a Powerpole cable I have here vs the cig plug one.

Superb Rolando,the Mach2 is really made to relieve us of the guide. I tested the 2nd evening for my Mach2 after a 35 point modeling of the 600 "poses on M109 ... with round stars as I had rarely

Excellent! Looking forward to the release of the new keypad software. -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image Gallery - http://astrophoto.net/wp/image-gallery/ Astrobin -

Rolando that's great how long was each exposure? -- Brian Brian Valente portfolio brianvalentephotography.com

Hi Astronuts, I joined AstroBin and posted my first image. Hope the link works: https://www.astrobin.com/full/vsz056/0/?nc=user This is an image taken with the Mach2 and 160EDF refractor, unguided

... what George said. :-) Tom, I got my can of Deoxit from Amazon. -- Dean Jacobsen http://astrophoto.net/wp/ Image Gallery - http://astrophoto.net/wp/image-gallery/ Astrobin -

De-Oxit can be purchased through Amazon or you can find it in local electronic supply stores. I have been told that music stores that sell musical instruments stock it for bands. Regards,

Dean, tell me about DEoxit and where best to get it. I use an automotive terminal cleaner, not for battery cables that I’ve used in my dads auto shop years ago, may not be best for finer electronic

Yup! Rolando

Michael, Chris Erickson has spoken of it with great praise. I have no experience with it and cannot speak to it. Regards, George George Whitney Astro-Physics, Inc. Phone:

Hi George Would you recommend using a dielectricgrease on these connections to minimize / prevent corrosion ? I have never seen any corrosion on mykeypad or mount cables, but I have seen some
